Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of workforce training programs on the operational efficiency in the oil sector of South Sudan. Methodology: The study applied a qualitative research design, using a systematic review of literatures for a thorough and rigorous analysis of data. The study is organized under four pillars of operational efficiency: innovative solutions, development of technical skills, managing cost, and productivity improvement. This design allowed the study to summarize prior knowledge from academic journals, industry reports, and government publications while considering how the findings align with the study’s aims. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework was used to guide the selected literature process, which signifies additional transparency and reproducibility. Findings: The study confirms that workforce training programs are crucial in improving efficiency of operations in the South Sudanese oil sector. The data underscores that tailored training programs can result in an increase of innovation, development of technical skills, better management of these costs, and increased productivity. Innovation offers companies the ability to design operations that meet new requirements and optimized working practices. By improving technical knowledge, employees can perform more challenging functions with greater skill and security, reducing the likelihood of errors and system slowdowns. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice, and Policy: For South Sudan’s oil and gas sector, the challenge is to see these findings integrated into its policy and practice, so the workforce challenges are met and the sector is unleashed. Government and corporate stakeholders will need to collaborate and focus on targeted training programs to develop a skilled workforce that can lead to operational excellence and, ultimately, growth in the national economy.
